Match evaluate
Brazil making it to the knockout rounds of a World Cup isn’t any shock. A loss to Cameroon in its final group recreation didn’t cease the Selecao from making it previous the group stage for the ninth consecutive version.
The Brazilian journalists, nevertheless, will not be too happy with Tite’s “lack of respect for the tournament and other teams” in fielding 9 new starters in that recreation.
That fringe Brazil facet created many probabilities, however the purpose was lacking as these auditioning for a beginning function gave a masterclass in wastefulness. Brazil physician Rodrigo Lasmar has labored the toughest in Qatar because the workforce continues to fret about health of Neymar. The good physician, nevertheless, has indicated that Neymar is perhaps match to play, recovering nicely sufficient from the ankle harm that he had suffered within the first recreation. Tite, was extra forthcoming, vehemently saying “yes” when requested if Neymar will play throughout his pre-match press convention.
However, the Brazilians will miss Gabriel Jesus and Alex Telles as each males are out of the event with knee issues. While Richarlison, already the scorer of a surprise purpose, can be main the assault, Telles’ withdrawal and the recurrent hip downside of Alex Sandro would possibly trigger an issue for Tite for the left-back place. But the philosophical Brazilian supervisor has all the time requested us to concentrate on all his 26 and never particular person gamers. “Brazil has 26 great athletes. We do not call them starting players or reserves. They are all players.” he had mentioned.
South Korea, too, has been affected by accidents. Tottenham’s Son Heung-min miraculously recovered from a facial fracture to play in Qatar with a Zorro face masks, and Hwang Hee-chan, whose purpose took Korea by means of, has additionally struggled with a hamstring pressure.
Brazil was final knocked out within the Round of 16 by a Claudio Caniggia strike in 1990, and the Taegeuk Warriors’ final progress past this spherical got here within the 2002 World Cup on dwelling soil. But historical past has by no means mattered in a World Cup, extra so on this one in Qatar.
